Starting off with the pros: It’s always nice to have consistent income and a hybrid remote role. The staff seemed to be close to one another and they claim to accept feedback. 
Onto the cons: All seemed to be fine during the first week of training. However, the management that trained me during my second week showed some red flags. About 50% of the training was spent actually training and the other 50% was spent waiting for management to answer their emails and listening to them drift off topic. I saw messages pop up on the shared screen where this particular manager was talking about how overwhelmed they were with their workload combined with training me. I was also told irrelevant stories about their home life. The most concerning thing was when this manager talked about how they struggle with one employee because he does not accept feedback well. It’s not necessarily something you share with employees, let alone new hires. Another red flag was when I was explicitly told that the company was conservative but not “weird”. I’m not sure why they felt the need to share that but apparently management felt it was important to disclose. The feedback I received was not the most honest given that i was constantly told I was picking up information and that a specific meeting was optional when a meeting with HR seemed to say otherwise. 

My advice for potential employees would be to report any suspicious behavior to HR and to advocate for yourself. 

I’ve been at Southwest Solutions Group for just over three months now and cannot say enough about what a great company it is to be a part of. From day one I have felt valued as an employee from upper management, to my direct supervisor. There is also a wonderful culture within the company and an open door from leadership to offer feedback if there is something lacking within the company culture. A motivating push for excellence is common at SSG and is one of the company’s core values. I love that we are also regularly given the necessary tools to produce excellence while we work, while also being able to have a proper work-life balance. I feel very fortunate to work for SSG and am excited for my future here! 

Selling at SSG is a great opportunity to earn and have fun and gain knowledge in the process.  They generate many leads - a sales rep's dream - yet they support sales with outstanding project management, pricing and drawings, and administrative functions.  The hardest part of the job is managing all the priorities that come your way - knowing what the company can and cannot do (experience helps here).  Enjoyable helping businesses solving problems through the products they represent. 

Just like all places you work, SSG is a family/team environment in its day to day operation.  It has many levels of capability and many folks in positions to support the vast needs of an ever changing market.  In my role of designing i do feel i am looked at as the expert for what i do specifically and i find myself playing my supporting role for the gambit of players that SSG brings o the field.  I like my job, i like the challenges it provides and i feel i am doing it with the most capable company on the Market!!

Overall, people are great to work with and you can have the opportunity to create a few long lasting relationships. The bad, I once heard an upper management member say that they pay below market rates because they have good culture. Seems pretty unfair. Perception is not reality. Pay was way below market rate. Often found doing job responsibilities outside of job scope, and did not feel supported in my position.

I have worked at quite a few companies that say they invest in their team, we are one family, we care about your growth, only to join them and be disappointed. 

Not here. They truly care about you and your growth. Offer great benefits, work-life balance, great PTO, and fantastic pay. You have to work hard to make great pay but it is well worth it. I will retire from this company. Also, it is an ESOP and you are an owner. Love it here. 

Southwest Solutions Group provides an active and fast-paced working environment.  It is an excellent environment for people interested in a sales role who like to work with multiple industries and a host of space and efficiency solutions.  Southwest Solutions is always training its sales representatives to succeed against their competition, which helps them succeed.  

I started working at SSG as an intern and then was offered a position in the team. Working from home is fun but it lacks that in person interaction, however, SSG allows employees to work from the office as they provide hoteling spaces. The thing I enjoy most about my job is that the company as a whole always strives to become better together.

The job itself is fine, but the micromanaging is terrible. I would not recommend this job unless you want a pit stop to a better job. This position is only a temporary job and was  let go last minute without any sort of morning. There is no clear line of communication and very rarely interacted with the upper management team. Temps are treated like "others", not a very welcoming environment. 

I have enjoyed working here for over 15yrs. The people are team focused, the culture embodies positive personal and professional growth, and the projects we work on are always interesting. Since the company has grown so much over the years, my only wish is that we would be able to connect personally as an organization more often.
